I enjoyed it also, but as Amos suggested, I let it play in the background. As long as you're clear what this thread is for - put on the silly hat, get out the sparklers, a good dictionary, and have at it.

It is really quite enjoyable and uplifting music. Better than I would have expected. I don't think Winston would like it, but that's hardly of consequence, is it? He has dreadful taste in most matters of art and culture. If it were not for his money and his ruthless disregard for other's opinions, he'd have almost no redeeming features whatsover.

GfS, welcome to MOAB; be warned that there is an air of insufferable solepcism that creeps into the vents of Mom's place like a wicked night vapor, and when it gets bad it leaves us wheezing for several hours of a morning. Most days, though, it is suppressed. We haven't figured out what the key is that brings it out of the woodwork. Maybe the wind shifts or something, and something died under the north end of the house. I dunno. That's where Rapparree's room is, though, so go figure.

LH, and GfS, I understand that instantaneous moment of whole-cloth creation, like a full-armed goddess popping out of her father's forehead ready for battle. It only happens when the normal universe can be tricked into shutting up for a few moments.

Thank You Amos. If you read the comments, below the video, I credited both you and Little Hawk for kickin' me in the ass to finally post it!..So thank you twice!...both of you!

How did you like "My Lady"..or at least the guitar work? I used an electric while the other Michael used an acoustic. The electric is a custom-built for me at the factory, Strat, left hand, but strung right. In other words, you could play it, but the body is left handed. I play upside-down and backwards..well, at least on that guitar. My 335 is strung the opposite, so it would be upside down to you...but it is a regular right hand guitar. The Strat is made of solid Brazilian Rosewood, when it was legal to import(I've had that ax for over 30 years), so the sustain was absolutely crisp and very 'bell-tone' like.

Hey, thanks for listening..and thanks to Little Hawk for giving you the 'heads up'!

Stilly, relax..I already posted it above the 'line' last night...and Little Hawk is correct, I DO like the company here!! Next thing I might even do, is post it amidst a stupid political argument/rant!..(wink)

GfS

P.S. What a great idea!!...All men are created equal....and those who doubt themselves, get into politics!

I still think GfS is hiding his light under a bushel basket by burying his matters of substance over here in our massive BS thread. If someone starts a thread for your stuff, will you post it over there so other people can see it? We don't need just everyone wandering in here looking for stuff like MUSIC, after all . . .

Yeah, I meant "write". I'm not used to co-writing with people at long distance, though. That would be a whole new thing. What I like to do is sit down in the same room, get the instruments out, and see what happens.

I think Amos is a fine lyricist. He could probably work well with anyone he chose to work with.

For some reason I was in the mood for composing this afternoon, Amos, and I came up with those rhymes about the Foo in a couple of minutes. That's how I always right songs too. I just feel "in the mood" to do so, I start writing, and it unfolds quite quickly.

Take a look at GfS' recent links to his music. It's on Youtube. If you look the first of the two links up, you will at last find out what GfS really looks like! (pretty much like you'd expect a Mudcatter to look...) and the music is good too. It's a very harmonious kind of orchestral music...would make good meditation and contemplation music to take a person inside themselves.

OH, Amos! I just get thrills and chills up and down my spine when you point out to me the error of my ways, rather like a kindly father figure advising a callow adolescent who has strayed from the path of virtue. ;-D

Oh, dear. I suppose, since you have demonstrated by assertion that High Culture is involved, I will withdraw my remarks about Dr Parry. I am sorry. I couldn't resist the obvious play, but Stilly started it. I take it all back. I am sure he's not gay. He's probably an old sobersides.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York federal judge says the Clorox Pet Products Co. must stop airing a cat litter commercial that unfairly seeks supremacy over a competitor and makes "implausible" claims about a test involving feces in a jar.

The judge found it "highly implausible" 11 panelists would "stick their noses in jars of excrement and report 44 independent times that they smelled nothing unpleasant." He found the claims "literally false."

I can see it clear as a bell...the medic stretching his long rubber gloves, up beyond his hand, and the rubber snapping into place...and with a wry grin, while ol' Rapparree is bent over with his drawers dropped,.."Hello..I'm Doctor Proctor"...Rapparee smiles with anticipation......

Oh sing a song of Rapparree, No Tom or Dick or Harry, Who takes up arms to place himself In the hands of Doctor Parry! A doctor known for many charms Who's not allowed to marry, For bold Rapparree's allied himself With the colorful Gay Parry!
